In 1884, Widows Island, in Fox Island
Thoroughfare, was offered for sale at auc-
ton by the United States Government bv
advertisements issuing from the office Of the
Light House Engineer of the first and sec
ond districts Mr. NJ. A. Achorn of Provi-
dence attended the sale and purchased the
property for $3.50, depositing the purchase
money with the auctioneer and taking re-
ceipt Some months later he was notified
that the Light House Board had repudiated
the sale on the ground Of error in the adj
vertisement, in giving the area Of the island
as six instead Of fifteen acres. The Board
admitted that the error had been made by
the government agent, and that Mr. Achorn
had purchased the property and paid the
money, but held that the government was
not bound by the act of its agents. In a let
ter to the Rockland Free Press, Mr.. Achorn
takes exceptions to this decision, and main
tains that in the case of the sale of Dix ISL
and, which the government undertook to re-
pudiate, Judge Devens, then Attorney GEN
eral, decided that it was not possible to set
aside the transaction. Mr.. Achorn should
go to the Court of Claims.

In what is known as the Salvation Army
case, suit brought by one of the warriors
for damages against another warrior who
called him liar, a thief and hypocrite, +"
which has been on trial in Bideeford for sew
eral days, the jury returned verdict of
guilty and assessed damages at one cent. The
jury should have explained whether they
fixed on this ridiculously small sum because
they thought the plaintiff stood SO well that
to call him a thief would not injure him, or
whether it was because they thought the de-
PENDANT told the truth

The general tenor Of the Senate resolution
in regard to the fisheries is very similar to
that OF the resolution reported by Mr.. Bel
mont to the House, though its provisions are
less sweeping. 1t confines its retaliatory
features to the shipping of the Dominion and
does not propose to interfere with railroad
traffic. As both Houses are agreed that it is
time for the government to do something be-
sides protest against the persecution of our
fishermen it is probable that there will be no
great difficulty in agreeing as to what shall
be done.
The cessation of intercourse between two
countries whose territory is contiguous and
whose commercial interests are closely re-
lated would work much harm to both ma
tions, but there is point beyond which for
bearance ought not to 60. The United
States have about reached that point in this
fishery dispute with the Dominion, and our
government would be sadly lacking in self
respect and in the duty which it owesi to its
own citizens If it should permit another fish
ing season to go by without a more
strenuous effort to protect our fishermen in
the enjoyment of rights to which they are
clearly entitled than has yet been made.
But we believe that it will never become
necessary for the President to use the power
which Congress is evidently ready to place
in his hands. We believe the Canadian gov
eminent will see that if non-intercourse is

The Senate committee on foreign affairs
has made a dignifed and able report on the
fisheries question. 1t finds that 1t is the de-
liberate intention of Great Britain to allow
petty officers and magistrates in Dominion
ports to annoy American shipping, and that
recent legislation in Canada has been plain
ly in violat1n Of the treaty of 1918, and of
principles OF comfy and good neighborhood.
A bill authorizing the President to proclaim
retaliatory measures was also introduced. 1t
will be noted that the result of the House
committees Investigation was much the
same Surely all this ought to stiffen the
backbone of this Democratic administra-
ton, and encourage it to something more

Mr. Van Wyck of Nebraska has pulled
through and Sets back to the Senate for
another six years. The strong opposition to
him by many of the Republican members OF
the Legislature was not strange, considering
his erratic political course since he has been
Senator. Perhaps his narrow escape may
convince him that it is better to stick to one
party rather than to attempt to belong totwo
at the same time; but it is to be feared that

The solution of the New York senatorial
contest is a remarkably fortunate one. Mr.
Hiscock is head and shoulders above either
of the other candidates in every quality that
is needed in United States Senator. Nor
tons campaign was too closely identified
with the almighty dollar, and so was Millers.
Not that either Of them used money improp-
erly to compass his election, but that neither
af them would ever have been conspicuous
except fti the possession of big bank ac-
count. Mr.. HiscocK mas been in the lower
House of Congress for ten years, and his SER
vice both to his party and his State has not
only been creditable but conspicuous In
the last two Congresses he has shared the
Republican leadership with Mr.. Reed. He
is a self made man, and all his triumphs have
been the result Of his own intellectual power.
With Mr. Hiscock and Mr. Evarts in the
Senate the Empire State is assured of an in
fluence in the upper House of Congress COM
mensurate with her numerical and CONNER
cial Importance.

Prohibition isn't working as well in At
lanta as it did at first. The Daily Capitol
of that city, which has always championed
the cause, declares that the law as now en-
forced is dead failure and that almost as
much whiskey and beer are sold as be-
fore 1t was enacted. Prohibition in the

The United States cannot enforce a retail.
atory policy against Canada without infict
ing considerable injury on United States in

toprevent retaliation. We regret to see thu
action taken, although we feared that il
embodied in the act of last session, is not I
policy that can stand in the enlightened

The governors especially of States where
the Knights of Labor are strong quite gener-
ally devote considerable space in their mes
sages to the labor problem There is a
vagueness about their suggestions, however,
which shows that we are not destined to get
much light on the solution of the problem
from the guDernaterial mind. For instance
Gov. Green Of New Jersey declares that "the
question of the relative rights and response
bilities Of labor must be solved" and eff ar
bitration is the solution let it be accepted
if not let some other satisfactory plan be de-
vised and carried into execution" A man
that attacks the labor problem ought to have
something more definite to say than that or
else he should let it alone. It's put in, how
ever, we suppose, to tickle the knights Of
Labor But we suspect that the majority of
the Knights of Labor are too intelligent to be
tickled with any such stuff

Mr. A. G. Jones, who happens to be the
Grit candidate for Parliament for Halifax,
would seem to be very bad man If the
Halifax Herald does not belle him. 1t is
predicted by that paper with boIdness that
that seems to show that it is certain of its
ground that the aforesaid Jones's whole
policy on the stump will be one "of general
SANDER and vilifcation." 1t is declared also
with some circumlocution to be sure, but
with not enough to disguise the point, that
he is a fool. 1t is asserted that he is en-
gagged in ''rehabilitating the basest scandals
that his Grit confreres of the Ananias Came
ron type have concocted;" and then Mr..
Jones is warned that the constituency whose
votes he is seeking is "far too intelligent to
be attracted by the filth which has its origin
in his own fertile Imagination" 1t hardly
needs to be said that the Herald is Macdon-
aid organ and that politics are very red hot
in the Dominion just now. So Mr.. Jones
may not be quite so black as he is painted.

The Blair education bill, which passed the
Senate last winter and has since been in pos
session of committee of the House, is like
ly to slumber the remainder of the session.
1t is believed that if it could be got before
the House it would go through, but the COM
mittee are opposed to it, and determined to
suppress it. 1t is very doubtful if the bill,
should it become law, would prove as adj
vantageons to the cause of education at the
South as its originator anticipated, but the
process resorted to to kill it looks a good deal
like usurpation of power The House ought
to be allowed to vote upon it no matter
whether the committee like it or not.

Mr.. Arthur Hadley, whose appointment as
commissioner of the Connecticut bureau OF
labor statistics was violently opposed two
years ago by the Knights of Labor, now has
their endorsement for re-appointment. This
change of sentiment has not been brought
about by any demagoguery on Mr.. Hadley's
part. but purely by his fair and honest deal
ing with facts and figures bearing on labor
interests. Indeed many of the schemes
for the improvement of the laboring man,
which the Knights strenuously advocate are
opposed by Mr.. Hadley. Nevertheless they
ask his disappointment, which goes to show
that it is not necessary to chime in with all
their notions, as many demagogues suppose,
to win the respect and esteem of the laboring
men.

ne had been beaten by an attendant
named Fitzgerald. There were marks on
his BODY caused by his having been
strspped down to his bed John Motley,
an eX-attendeut, saw gil attendent named
Nash lump twice on the breast Of
q patient named BOgart. He rel orted
the case 20 DR.. Spencer, but nothing
came OF il. Mrs. Lizzie NedeIsOhn ties
.itied that her husband was killed. She
last saw him slive in November When
she reached the office the doctor told her
she could not see him because he had
tallen and dishgured his face. She in
sisted upon seeing him, and found his
face al bruised, and cut on top Of his
head. She asked who struck him. He
ssid Attendant MCCue. When she and
her daughter were leaving he showed
them to the door He appealed to the
little girl to bring him home, saving that
MCCue would kill him. She did not see
her husband until he was dead Two of
his ribs were broken and half CT his up
per lip was gone.
Other witnesses testified to the same
general effect of the brutality practiced
by the attendants. One witness said thew
used him as football. Another said tina.
they melted patients to attack each other
for the fun of seeing a fight. another
declared that many patients were bathed
in one tue of water, until it became filthy,
and patients with sores on their bodies
were always bathed first. Patients were
punished by being made to wear vermfn-
